Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Finely chop the garlic and onion. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the tomato mixture.

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well, cover the skillet, and allow the cauliflower rice to cook for 5-7 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
